Ok here is one of my most famous mess up's......
get to the starting gate for a round 2 race at the 2008 WF's, and forgot to fill up the fuel tank. Light went green, Q pulls the trigger, and ran out of fuel. Kinda embarrassing. Lesson learned, always check your tank before you race.

Good ones guys. Here is one i felt real stupid about.
My friends and i get together on a saturday for an all day bash, after about a half hour of running my savage decides to spin a spur gear "i thought". The spur was fine so, i figured it was the transmission or something. long story short i was done running for the day and had to watch every one else have fun all day long. Well a week later i start going over the truck and found out i snaped a grub screw.lol I had about five more grub screws in my tool box and could of had it fixed in two minutes. I missed a very fun day do to my stupidity. so check your grub screws

my dumbest move would have to be not making sure my hump pack in my truggy was fully charged and had to watch it take off at mach 1 rip acrossed a busy street and slam into a curb "pieces flew everywere",with my savage x it sorta lets me know first the battery is low cuz the steering starts acting up but no warning with the truggy, so ALWAYS MAKE SURE BATTERIES ARE FRESH,OR IF USING A HUMP PACK MAKE SURE ITS CHARGED!! LOL

and i also started my truck without the radio on before "first time i started it" but it didnt make it far before flipping over THANK GOD no damage done!!

Gluing my fingers to the tires, grinding down the wrong part, dog bone thing like 88, trying to start truck with something turned off.. name it, forget radio at home... never did the stickers on the outside of the overspray film though.

I know I've done more... I'll be back!
